A DAsgraeerui Assault

Last week after the meeting in
the Salvation army hall, as Captain
Frank was leaving the building, he
was brutally assaulted by some ruffian
who struck him several blows, knock
ing him into the middle of the street.
This was done in the presence of TWEEN
ty or thirty spectators, all men, who
made no attempt to prevent the out
rage, but greeted the affair with shouts
of laughter and allowed the ruffian to
escape. 1t is very strange that these
people cannot be protected while hold
ing their religious services and at all
times. The police regulations en-
brace them as well as any other relig-
ious body and entities the members of
the Salvation army to the same pro-
lection that is enjoyed by any private
citizens.

THAT ! BOMB
Was Thrown by Thomas
Owens
ON THE NIGHT OF THE ANARCH.
IsT RIOT IN CHICAGO.
Owens Makes a Confession just Be-
fore Death.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov, Altoona.
Owens, q carpenter, employed at Home
stead, near here, who died the othel
day, confessed before death that he wa.
| a partner of Rudolph Schnaubelt. the
man who, it is alleged, threw the bomI
at the Haymarket massacre on May 4,
1886. and that he himself was the guilty
party. The facts did not come out un-
TIL Thursday, when an inquest was held
on the remains of Owens, who died
from the effects of an accident at the
steel works. Constable McBroom had
a warrant for the arrest man charged
with desertion, with whom he was not
acquainted and whose whereabouts he
was trying to discover at the time.
Knowing that Owens was stranger,
and that Modllett & Piper knew con-
siderably more about him than any one
else in town he made a call upon them
for particulars. These they were unable
to furnish him beyond the fact that
his name was Owens and that he had
been there but short time. AS to
where he came from and what he had
formerly been employed at, they did
not know, as he was extremely reticent
about himself. When the constable
left the house. Owens came In, and on
being told that an officer was in search
ofhim. showed great sign of trepida-
ton. He made no inquiry as to what
the constable wanted and neither Piper
nor Mullett volunteered the informa-
tion, as they wanted to see whether he
would betray himself. He told them
that he must leave town Immediately
and implored them rs brother men,
bers Of the carpenters association to
help him to get what money was due
him. He then. under secrecy con-
fessed to Mullett and Piper that he was
an anarchist and all intimate friend of
the convicted men. He knew Schnau-
belts determination and was with him
on the night of the Haymarket mas
sacre. He said also that it was not
Scnaubelt, but himself, who threw the
bomb. lnEhe confusion he got to his
bro theirs house and borrowed 81 and
left for country town. Until six weeks
ago he tramped. On his person were
letters from his sister advising him to
keep away from socialists as they had
SO far caused him so much trouble. Al
letter from his brother cautioned him
not TO write home rs his letters might
give him away.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has just announced its decision
refusing stay of proceedings in the
Anarchist case.
| CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The sheriff has
already begun building the scaffold on
which to hang the Anarchists. Car
penters were busy this afternoon work
ing ON pieces which go to make up the
machine of death. 1t will not be long
before the gallows will be ready. This
Is regarded in some quarters as signifi-
cant. Mr.. Watson's belief is that the
Governor will not interfere.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-About noon to-
day Mrs. Lucy Parsons, wife of the con-
demned Anarchist, began to sell PAM
phlets entitled: "Was it a fair trial?n
on Clark st. When it was known that
the vender was Mrs. Parsons, in trice
the street was so packed with spectators
that 1t was impossible for wagon even
to make its way along the middle of the
street. In five minutes after the an
nouncement of the woman's name, it
was beyond all human possibility for o
pedestrian to come within 100 yards Of
the spot. Three blue coats ordered the
woman to "move on.n She did move
on in the direction of the Government
building carrying her pamphlets and
followed by an immense throng. 1t was
estimated that 5000 people were as
sembled around the place.

Here is one: Suppose a man aud a
girl were married, and, which of course
is impossible, that at the time of the
hymenial contract the man was 35
years old and the girl 5, which makes
the man 1--WE times as. old as tile girl.
They live together until the girl is 10:
this makes the man 40 years old, and
four times as old as the girl; they live
together until she is Is years old, and
the man being As, this makes the man
three times as old; they live until she
is 80 years old, aud the man being As.
this makes the man three times as old;
they iive until she is so years old; this
makes the man so, only twice as old.
and now, aswe haven't time to work IL
out, perhaps somebody would be kind
enough to tell us how long they would
have to live to make the girl as old as
